I've always been able to 'fly' the helicopters, as in I could make them move the way I wanted to. Problem is I would never last long against the jets and other helicopters and rockets and stuff. Finally, yesterday, I got the hang of the hit and run tactics, and finally levelled up a bunch in the attack helicoptor. Had a few good runs as pilot, dying only a few times in 1k plus rounds, sometimes with a gunner, sometimes without. I'm so elated to finally have the attack helicopter tactics down. Here's to hoping they don't change the dynamics up too much in BF4 so that my newfound skills transfer.

Standard WSAD and mouse... I have an adjustable DPI mouse and I always set it to full DPI (5000DPI) when I'm in most vehicles (tanks, choppers, airplanes). It's not the best setup for flying jets though, so I really don't have much stick time in those things. Works great for the choppers though.

If it was the way they said it was going too be, It could have been an Epic game, But problems after Problems that do not get fixed have proven that BF games have gone down the shit hole just like COD.
